The agency announced its
Safe Genes program in September 2016 and plans to award funding to multiple research teams by the first half of 2017.
Using genome - wide analyses, the MDC researchers found that GRHL2 regulates a
defined gene program.
This showed that «brite» fat cells have
distinct gene programs which, when active, make these cells particularly energy - consuming,» says Susanne Mandrup and continues.
«We had previously discovered that in a low interleukin - 2 environment, the
TFH gene program turns on, apparently pushing effector cells to become T follicular helper cells,» Oestreich said.
In this study, the researchers learned that proteins responding to the cells» environment are able to influence the
memory gene program.
«Just as the presence of interleukin - 2 or interleukin - 6 increases Bcl - 6 and encourages the T follicular helper
cell gene program, the presence of interleukin - 7 can decrease Bcl - 6 and influence effector cells to become memory cells,» McDonald said.
Since these proteins serve as «master regulators» for controlling
whole gene programs, drugs against these targets could have broader effects than traditional ones that block single enzymes.»
«We're in the business of preventing technological surprise, but also being prepared for the surprises that come from the use of these technologies,» said Renee Wegrzyn, a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Virginia, which today announced seven research teams that will share a $ 65 million pot of funding under the agency's Safe
Genes program over the next 4 years.
Comparative transcriptional profiling of the axolotl limb identifies a tripartite regeneration -
specific gene program.
When cells had mutations in NOTCH1, however, shear stress failed to protect the valve and, instead, the cells activated a
detrimental gene program that drives bone formation.
«The data show that aberrant
epigenetic gene programming can now be considered a hallmark of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, occurring in all patients regardless of the presence of genetic mutations,» Melnick said.
With the
Skinny Genes program, you gain a new understanding of why you're eating when you know you shouldn't.

Mesenchymal gene program - expressing ovarian cancer spheroids exhibit enhanced mesothelial clearance.
These experiments, led by postdoctoral fellows Gayatri Arun and Sarah Diermeier, indicated Malat1 «is touching multiple nodes —
gene programs that determine what cells do.»
